Nonfiction
Monday is hosted today at Wendie's Wanderings.
For Nonfiction Monday -- "Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass : thestory behind an American friendship" by Russell Freedman.
From
the incomparable Russell Freedman -- the vividly written story of the
relationship between these two historical figures and how their friendship informed
both their lives. Freedman provides
background on both Douglas and Lincoln leading up to their first meeting, then
follows these two self-educated men with differing points of view as they
struggled to find common ground.
Period
illustrations, documents and photographs, primary sources with notes and a selected
bibliography provide additional background and enrichment for students in grades five to eight.
Freedman
at his best.
